Wow! This term has just flown by and what changes we have seen! We have been challenged, not only, in the classroom and playground but our whole world has changed and continues to do so on a daily basis. However, some things remain the same! In English we continue to complete our Sign In each morning before discussing our Morning Message. We then decide on a picture to respond to using the PODD, before we write our words or short sentence, with the help of a Qwerty or Flip chart as our alternative pencil. We read our Book of the Week and answer questions related to it. We have been looking at different celebrations and really enjoyed finding out how illustrations support the text, especially when we read about Cascarones. This is a Mexican tradition where painted eggs, are filled with confetti and broken over a friend’s head, to give them good luck! We complete our predictive sentence each week and are learning to sequence the words in order before illustrating them. In maths we have been working on 1:1 correspondence when counting groups of objects and matching number names with numerals and quantities. We have also started to compare objects according to length, using the terms ‘short’ and ‘long.’ Our science has involved some interesting experiments and recently we made some binoculars to test lenses made of alfoil, paper and cling wrap. We all decided that cling wrap was ‘transparent’ and the best choice because we could see through it!

 We hope that everyone has a happy and healthy Easter break.

Sincerely,

All of us in P1.
